Not-so ragged review
Happy to report on this very generous review of my upcoming collection Ragged Maps by Paul Di Filippo in Locus. It’s hard to think of a greater compliment than the way he compares my work with a great many writers I admire and have often tried to emulate…

La canzone del tempo
Pleased to see that Song of Time has finally made it into Italian, and with a blurb that gets the novel pretty much bang-on…
Selkie online
My short story Selkie, an alternate history take on the lead-up (or not) to World War One and war in general, with an added twist of Celtic folklore, is now available to be read online here. Great also to see (and contribute toward!) a thoughtful take on military SF…

The Chronologist
Pleased to announce that my new short story The Chronologist has just gone live on Tor.com. It’s set in a town where the clocks actually control time rather than merely measuring its progress….
New New Worlds…
Happy to say that, after a long gestation, the new New Worlds collection is finally available for pre-order, and will be out in August. Honoured to be among contributors including Alan Moore, Michael Swanwick, Lavie Tidhar, Ian Watson, Paul Park, James Lovegrove, Gwyneth Jones and the great Michael Moorcock himself. The teenage me who loved this magazine would be extremely chuffed – and so am I!

The Mrs Innocents
So pleased to see that my piece The Mrs Innocents has made it to feature story on the rather lovely front cover of the latest edition of Asimov’s Magazine. It’s an alternate take on some significant events in modern history, and I’m rather proud of it.
